2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Cancer

Cancer is one of the most significant health conditions. In the United States, cancer is second only to heart disease in mortality accounting for one of four deaths. The incidence of cancer is widely expected to increase as the US population ages, further augmenting the impact of this condition.

The current treatment regimens for cancer established in the 1970s and 1980s, have not changed dramatically. These treatments, which include chemotherapy, radiation and other modalities including newer targeted therapies, have shown limited overall survival benefit when utilized in most advanced stage common cancers since, among other things, these therapies primarily target tumor bulk.

Standard oncology regimens have often been largely designed to administer the highest dose of irradiation or a chemotherapeutic agent without undue toxicity, i.e., often referred to as the “maximum tolerated dose” (MTD) or “no observed adverse effect level” (NOAEL). Many conventional cancer chemotherapies and conventional irradiation therapies exert their toxic effects on cancer cells largely by interfering with cellular mechanisms involved in cell growth and DNA replication. Chemotherapy protocols also often involve administration of a combination of chemotherapeutic agents in an attempt to increase the efficacy of treatment. Despite the availability of a large variety of chemotherapeutic agents, these therapies have many drawbacks. For example, chemotherapeutic agents are notoriously toxic due to non-specific side effects on fast-growing cells whether normal or malignant; e.g. chemotherapeutic agents cause significant, and often dangerous, side effects, including bone marrow depression, immunosuppression, and gastrointestinal distress, etc.

Other types of traditional cancer therapies include surgery, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, anti-angiogenesis therapy, targeted therapy, and radiation treatment to eradicate neoplastic cells in a patient. All of these approaches can pose significant drawbacks for the patient including a lack of efficacy and toxicity. Accordingly, new therapies for improving the long-term prospect of cancer patients are needed.

2.2 Non-Neoplastic Conditions

Angiogenesis is implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of non-neoplastic conditions, e.g., intraocular neovascular syndromes such as proliferative retinopathies or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.

The recognition of VEGF as a primary stimulus of angiogenesis in pathological conditions has led to various attempts to block VEGF activity. Inhibitory anti-VEGF receptor antibodies, soluble receptor constructs, antisense strategies, RNA aptamers against VEGF and low molecular weight VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors have all been proposed for use in interfering with VEGF signaling (Siemeister et al. (1998) Cancer Metastasis Rev., 17(2):241-248). However, these agents all have drawbacks in that they can cause toxic side effects in the patient and often are not curative of the non-neoplastic condition. Accordingly, new therapies for treating patients with non-neoplastic conditions that are associated with angiogenesis, particularly VEGF production, are needed.

2.3 Viral Conditions

As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses are intimately dependent upon the biological functions of their hosts. Small molecules that affect the host cell biological processes involved in viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein may therefore inhibit a wide variety of viruses requiring these functions for essential events in the viral life cycle and therefore can be used for treatment of virus infection. Notably, molecules directly affecting host functions that are essential for viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein should provide a high barrier to the emergence of resistant strains relative to classical antivirals that directly target viral enzymes.

An estimated 170 million people worldwide are reported to be infected with hepatitis C virus, of which at least 6 known genotypes are the causative agent of hepatitis C infection. Up to 80 percent of HCV infections lead to chronic liver infection, which in turn may result in severe liver diseases, including liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (see Saito I, et al., Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1990, 87:6547-6549). References have described small molecule β-carboline compounds with antiviral activity against viruses such as human papillomavirus (HPV)(J F Miller et al, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2010, 20(1):256-259), poliovirus (PV) and herpes simplex virus (ASN Formagio et al, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2009, 44(11):4695-4701). International Patent publications WO2006/015035 and WO2007/002051 describe β-carboline compounds with antiviral activity against human papillomavirus infection (HPV) and a flavivirus infections, including dengue virus, yellow fever virus, West Nile virus and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Accordingly, new small molecule therapies for treating patients with viral conditions, particularly dengue virus and HCV, are needed.

3. SUMMARY

Encompassed herein are compounds having the formula set forth in Section 5.1 (“Compound”) and compositions comprising such Compounds. The Compounds can demonstrate one or more of the following activities: (a) selective inhibition of the pathological production of human VEGF; (b) inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, tumor-related inflammation, tumor-related edema and/or tumor growth; (c) prolongation of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle; (d) inhibition of angiogenesis and/or inflammation associated with a non-neoplastic condition; and/or (e) inhibition of a viral infection.

Methods for treating cancer as well as non-neoplastic conditions and viral infections are described, involving the administration of a Compound to a human subject in need of such treatment. Preferably, the Compound used in the therapeutic method demonstrates one or more of the following activities as determined in cell culture and/or animal model systems, such as those described herein: (a) selective inhibition of the pathological production of human VEGF; (b) inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, tumor-related inflammation, tumor-related edema and/or tumor growth; (c) prolongation of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle; (d) inhibition of angiogenesis and/or inflammation associated with a non-neoplastic condition; and/or (e) inhibition of viral infection. The Compound can be administered as a single agent therapy to a human in need of such treatment. Alternatively, the Compound can be administered in combination with one or more additional therapies to a human in need of such treatment. Such therapies may include the use of anti-cancer agents (e.g., cytotoxic agents, anti-angiogenesis agents, tyrosine kinase inhibitors or other enzyme inhibitors).

Despite differences in the bases for cancer, non-neoplastic conditions and viral infection, the therapies described herein should be effective because they are aimed at interfering with basic mechanisms required for manifestation of each disease (i.e., the pathological production of human VEGF, uncontrolled growth of tumors or inflammation or edema associated with tumors, the pathological angiogenesis or inflammation associated with a non-neoplastic condition, the pathological angiogenesis associated with cancer, or the biological processes involved in viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein). While not bound by any theory, the therapies described are based, in part, on the pharmacodynamic activities of the Compounds as measured in cell culture and in animal models; in particular, these include: (a) selective inhibition of the pathological production of human VEGF; (b) inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, tumor-related inflammation, tumor-related edema, and/or tumor growth; (c) prolongation of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle of aberrantly proliferating cells and/or (d) inhibition of viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein.

These pharmacologic activities contribute to limiting solid tumor growth or tumor-related inflammation, tumor-related edema and/or pathological angiogenesis, in several ways. For example, inhibition of pathological production of human VEGF by the tumor will inhibit tumor angiogenesis, thereby limiting vascularization and further growth of solid tumors. An additional benefit is achieved for tumors that respond to VEGF as a growth factor—in such cases, the Compound can limit proliferation of such tumor cells independent of their angiogenic status, that is angiogenesis and vascularization need not be present for the Compound to limit proliferation of the tumor cells. Because the process of tumorigenesis can result in inflammation and edema, a Compound may limit such inflammation or edema. Additionally, prolongation of the cell cycle may contribute to the induction of apoptotic death of the tumor cells, and/or allow for increased efficacy when the Compound is used in combination with a therapy or therapies (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents or radiation) that interfere with nucleic acid synthesis during the cell cycle (e.g., the G1/S phase). Because viral replication is directly dependent on host cells, a Compound that interferes with cellular molecular processes that participate in viral replication may inhibit one or more events of the viral life cycle and thus be used for treatment of a viral infection. Finally, a Compound that interferes with viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein may inhibit relapse of one or more symptoms associated with recurrence of a viral infection.

Thus, in specific embodiments, the methods for treating cancer can result in inhibition or reduction of the pathological production of human VEGF (including intratumoral VEGF production), thus reducing VEGF concentrations in biological specimens of an afflicted subject; inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, tumor-related inflammation, tumor-related edema, and/or tumor growth in the subject; stabilization or reduction of tumor volume or tumor burden in the subject; stabilization or reduction of peritumoral inflammation or edema in the subject; reduction of the concentrations of angiogenic or inflammatory mediators in biological specimens (e.g., plasma, serum, cerebral spinal fluid, urine, or any other biofluids); and/or a delayed or prolonged late G1/S phase of the cell cycle (i.e., the period between the late resting or pre-DNA synthesis phase, and the early DNA synthesis phase) in tumor cells of the subject. In other specific embodiments, the methods of treating non-neoplastic conditions can result in the inhibition or reduction of pathological angiogenesis; the inhibition or reduction of plasma human VEGF concentrations in an afflicted subject; the inhibition or reduction in inflammation; and/or stabilization or reduction of the one or more symptoms of the non-neoplastic condition in the subject. In another specific embodiment, without being bound by any particular theory, the methods of treating a viral infection can result in interference with viral replication in infected cells in an afflicted subject and prevent or reduce the ability of the virus to appropriate the host apparatus and molecular processes in the subject.

Existing antiangiogenic therapies that have been developed for other diseases (e.g., certain cancers and retinopathies including macular degeneration and the like) are directed at globally neutralizing VEGF activity (e.g., using anti-VEGF antibodies), or inhibiting downstream effects of VEGF signaling (e.g., using tyrosine kinase inhibitors to block the signaling activity of the VEGF receptor). As a result, these existing antiangiogenic therapies neutralize or inhibit physiological or homeostatic VEGF, as well as pathologically produced human VEGF, activity resulting in side effects that, while tolerated for the treatment of life-threatening cancers or to prevent or slow the development of hearing loss or blindness, may not be acceptable for the treatment of certain cancers and non-neoplastic conditions. Since the Compounds used in the therapeutic methods described herein selectively inhibit pathologic production of human VEGF, and do not disturb the production of human VEGF under physiological conditions, side effects that are unacceptable for the treatment of cancer or non-neoplastic conditions may be reduced. Existing antiviral therapies are a combination of interferon and ribavirin, leading to variable outcomes among the six major HCV genotypes. However, only about one-half of all treated patients respond to this combination therapy. Since the Compounds used in the therapeutic methods described herein are small molecules that selectively inhibit viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein, side effects that are unacceptable for standard antiviral treatment may be reduced.

The efficacy of the therapeutic intervention is supported by the data presented herein, demonstrating that the Compounds inhibit the pathological production of human VEGF (see Section 8.1 et. seq., infra); the Compounds inhibit tumor growth (see Section 8.2 et. seq., infra); the Compounds delay the cell cycle by prolonging the G1/S phase (see Section 8.3 et. seq., infra); and the Compounds inhibit viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein by interfering with biological processes involved in viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein (see Section 8.4 et. seq., infra).

Compounds can be prepared by those skilled in the art using known methods, including those set forth in International Publication Nos. WO2005/089764, WO2006/113703, WO2008/127715, WO2008/127714, and as disclosed in copending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/181,652, filed May 27, 2009, entitled “Processes for the Preparation of Substituted Tetrahydro Beta-Carbolines,” each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, as well as the procedures set forth below in Section 6.

5.2 Pharmaceutical Properties and Formulations

5.2.1 Activity

Without being bound by any theory, Compounds described herein inhibit the translation of pathologically expressed human VEGF mRNA and, thus, inhibit the pathologic production of human VEGF protein. In particular, the Compounds act specifically through a mechanism dependent on the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the human VEGF mRNA to inhibit the pathologic production of human VEGF protein. The activity of the Compounds tested is post-transcriptional since quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assessments of mRNA have shown that the Compounds do not alter the levels of human VEGF mRNA.

For the antiviral activity of the Compounds, without being bound by any particular theory, several lines of evidence appear to indicate that the precise molecular target of the Compounds is a host cell target rather than a direct viral target (see Section 10, et. seq., infra). For example, (1) broad spectrum activity against viruses from diverse and not closely related taxa; (2) the failure to select for a resistant HCV replicon despite long-term exposure at inhibitory concentrations of a Compound in cell culture; and (3) the lack of anti-PV activity in an HT-1080 cell line which is resistant to the cell cycle delay induced by a Compound.

5.2.1.1 Inhibition of Pathological VEGF Production

Compounds are described that reduce or inhibit pathological production of human VEGF (also known as VEGF-A and vascular permeability factor (VPF)). Exemplary Compounds have been shown to reduce or inhibit tumor production of VEGF as measured in cell culture and/or preclinical tumor models. Furthermore, the Compounds tested do not affect physiological plasma VEGF levels in healthy humans.

By way of background, the human VEGF-A gene encodes a number of different products (isoforms) due to alternative splicing. The VEGF-A isoforms include VEGF₁₂₁, VEGF₁₆₅, VEGF₁₈₉ and VEGF₂₀₆ having 121, 165, 189 and 206 amino acids, respectively. VEGF₁₆₅ and VEGF₁₂₁ isoforms are soluble, whereas VEGF₁₈₉ and VEGF₂₀₆ isoforms are sequestered within the extracellular matrix. The activity of the Compounds tested was assessed by measuring the concentrations of soluble VEGF in cell culture systems. In preclinical tumor models, the activity of the Compounds tested was assessed by measuring the concentrations of soluble VEGF. The data indicate that the Compounds tested inhibit the production of soluble forms of tumor derived VEGF.

In particular, a Compound provided herein has been shown to selectively inhibit stress (e.g., hypoxia) induced production of soluble human VEGF isoforms in cell culture without affecting soluble human VEGF production under normoxic conditions (see Section 8.1 et seq.). Thus, the Compound was shown to preferentially inhibit pathological production of soluble human VEGF isoforms resulting from hypoxia while sparing homeostatic production of soluble isoforms in unperturbed cells. Accordingly, in specific embodiments, a Compound selectively inhibits or reduces the pathological production of a soluble human VEGF isoform over inhibiting or reducing physiological or homeostatic production of a soluble human VEGF isoform.

In a specific embodiment, a Compound selectively inhibits or reduces the pathological production of a matrix-bound human VEGF isoform over inhibiting or reducing physiological production of a matrix-bound human VEGF isoform. In another specific embodiment, a Compound selectively inhibits or reduces the pathological production of one or more soluble human VEGF isoforms and one or more matrix-bound VEGF isoforms.

5.2.1.2 Inhibition of Pathological Angiogenesis and Tumor Growth

Compounds are described that reduce or inhibit tumor growth. A Compound provided herein has been shown to have a profound effect on the architecture of the tumor vasculature in animal models with pre-established human tumors. The Compound reduced the total volume and diameter of blood vessels formed compared to vehicle treated subjects. See Section 8.2. A Compound showed inhibition of tumor growth in the model. A dose-response effect of the Compound that correlated with decreases in tumor and plasma VEGF concentrations was observed when tumor size was assessed. See Section 8.1.3. Thus, in one embodiment, the concentration of soluble human VEGF in human plasma is used to assess and monitor the pharmacodynamic effect of a Compound provided herein. In a specific embodiment, the concentration of either VEGF₁₂₁, VEGF₁₆₅, or both in human plasma are used to assess and monitor the pharmacodynamic effect of a Compound provided herein.

5.2.1.3 Prolongation of Early G₁/Early S-Phase Cell Cycle Delay

Provided herein are Compounds that provoke a prolongation of early G₁/early S-Phase cell cycle delay.

In addition to its effects on pathological VEGF production, a Compound provided herein provokes a late G₁/early S-Phase cell cycle delay, i.e., between the late resting or pre-DNA synthesis phase, and the early DNA synthesis phase in those tumor cell lines in which VEGF generation is decreased by the Compound. See Section 8.3. Further characterization indicates that this effect is concentration dependent, occurring at low nanomolar EC₅₀ values similar to those associated with reducing pathological VEGF production. The cell cycle delay and inhibition of pathological VEGF protein production occur in concert, linking these phenotypes in inflammation, pathological angiogenesis and tumor growth. Inhibition of pathological VEGF production in these same tumor cells with small interfering RNA (siRNA) does not induce a cell cycle defect (data not shown). Conversely, mimosine, a DNA synthesis inhibitor that halts cell cycle progression at the G₁/S interface, does not reduce VEGF production (data not shown). In vivo, a Compound provided herein demonstrated in a HT1080 xenograft model that the Compound delays cycling through S-phase; this effect is distinct from that with bevacizumab, which has no effect on tumor cell cycling. Thus, these experiments indicate that the effects of the Compound on the tumor cell cycle occur in parallel with its actions on pathological VEGF production in tumors.

5.2.1.4 Inhibition of Viral Replication and the Production of Viral RNA or DNA or Viral Protein

Provided herein are Compounds that dose-dependently inhibit viral replication or the production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein in a diverse panel of viruses. See Section 10.

In viral cell lines in which viral RNA or DNA or viral protein production is decreased by a Compound, further characterization indicates that inhibition of viral replication and production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein is concentration dependent. Without being bound by any particular theory, the Compound appears to inhibit viral replication and production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein by interefering with the biological processes of the host cell to inhibit or prevent the formation of a viral replication complex in a cell or in the endoplasmic reticulum. The interference of the Compound with the biological processes of the host cell is supported by data that includes: (1) broad spectrum activity against viruses from diverse and not closely related taxa; (2) the failure to select a resistant viral replicon despite long-term exposure at inhibitory concentrations of a Compound in cell culture; and (3) the lack of antiviral activity in a cell line which is resistant to the cell cycle delay induced by the Compound. Thus, these experiments indicate that the effects of the Compound on the host cell processes occur in parallel with the effects on viral replication and production of viral RNA or DNA or viral protein.

5.7 Combination Therapy

Presented herein are combination therapies for the treatment of cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection which involve the administration of a Compound in combination with one or more additional therapies to a subject in need thereof. In a specific embodiment, presented herein are combination therapies for the treatment of cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection which involve the administration of an effective amount of a Compound in combination with an effective amount of another therapy to a subject in need thereof.

As used herein, the term “in combination,” refers, in the context of the administration of a Compound, to the administration of a Compound prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to the administration of one or more additional therapies (e.g., agents, surgery, or radiation) for use in treating cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection. The use of the term “in combination” does not restrict the order in which one or more Compounds and one or more additional therapies are administered to a subject. In specific embodiments, the interval of time between the administration of a Compound and the administration of one or more additional therapies may be about 1-5 minutes, 1-30 minutes, 30 minutes to 60 minutes, 1 hour, 1-2 hours, 2-6 hours, 2-12 hours, 12-24 hours, 1-2 days, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, 9 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, 20 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks, 11-15 weeks, 15-20 weeks, 20-30 weeks, 30-40 weeks, 40-50 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, 12 months, 1 year, 2 years, or any period of time in between. In certain embodiments, a Compound and one or more additional therapies are administered less than 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, one month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years apart.

In some embodiments, the combination therapies provided herein involve administering a Compound daily, and administering one or more additional therapies once a week, once every 2 weeks, once every 3 weeks, once every 4 weeks, once every month, once every 2 months (e.g., approximately 8 weeks), once every 3 months (e.g., approximately 12 weeks), or once every 4 months (e.g., approximately 16 weeks). In certain embodiments, a Compound and one or more additional therapies are cyclically administered to a subject. Cycling therapy involves the administration of the Compound for a period of time, followed by the administration of one or more additional therapies for a period of time, and repeating this sequential administration. In certain embodiments, cycling therapy may also include a period of rest where the Compound or the additional therapy is not administered for a period of time (e.g., 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 10 weeks, 20 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, 12 months, 2 years, or 3 years). In an embodiment, the number of cycles administered is from 1 to 12 cycles, from 2 to 10 cycles, or from 2 to 8 cycles.

In some embodiments, the methods for treating cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection provided herein comprise administering a Compound as a single agent for a period of time prior to administering the Compound in combination with an additional therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods for treating cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection provided herein comprise administering an additional therapy alone for a period of time prior to administering a Compound in combination with the additional therapy.

In some embodiments, the administration of a Compound and one or more additional therapies in accordance with the methods presented herein have an additive effect relative the administration of the Compound or said one or more additional therapies alone. In some embodiments, the administration of a Compound and one or more additional therapies in accordance with the methods presented herein have a synergistic effect relative to the administration of the Compound or said one or more additional therapies alone.

As used herein, the term “synergistic,” refers to the effect of the administration of a Compound in combination with one or more additional therapies (e.g., agents), which combination is more effective than the additive effects of any two or more single therapies (e.g., agents). In a specific embodiment, a synergistic effect of a combination therapy permits the use of lower dosages (e.g., sub-optimal doses) of a Compound or an additional therapy and/or less frequent administration of a Compound or an additional therapy to a subject. In certain embodiments, the ability to utilize lower dosages of a Compound or of an additional therapy and/or to administer a Compound or said additional therapy less frequently reduces the toxicity associated with the administration of a Compound or of said additional therapy, respectively, to a subject without reducing the efficacy of a Compound or of said additional therapy, respectively, in the treatment of cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection. In some embodiments, a synergistic effect results in improved efficacy of a Compound and each of said additional therapies in treating cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection. In some embodiments, a synergistic effect of a combination of a Compound and one or more additional therapies avoids or reduces adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the use of any single therapy.

The combination of a Compound and one or more additional therapies can be administered to a subject in the same pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, a Compound and one or more additional therapies can be administered concurrently to a subject in separate pharmaceutical compositions. A Compound and one or more additional therapies can be administered sequentially to a subject in separate pharmaceutical compositions. A Compound and one or more additional therapies may also be administered to a subject by the same or different routes of administration.

The combination therapies provided herein involve administering to a subject to in need thereof a Compound in combination with conventional, or known, therapies for treating cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection. Other therapies for cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection or a condition associated therewith are aimed at controlling or relieving one or more symptoms. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the combination therapies provided herein involve administering to a subject to in need thereof a pain reliever, or other therapies aimed at alleviating or controlling one or more symptoms associated with cancer or a non-neoplastic condition or a viral infection or a condition associated therewith.

The residue is chromatographed on silica gel using a gradient of ethyl acetate from 10% to 30% in hexanes to give 50.0 g of aldehyde B as a colorless oil. LC/MS [M+H⁺] 163.2 (100), 2.85 min; ¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ ppm 4.67 (d, J=5.03 Hz, 2H) 5.33 (dd, J=23.98, 1.51 Hz, 2H) 6.03 (dt, J=22.39, 5.07 Hz, 1H) 7.12 (d, J=8.72 Hz, 2H) 7.85 (d, J=8.38 Hz, 2H) 9.86 (s, 1H).

Aldehyde B (50.0 g, 308 mmol) is dissolved in 1.5 L of glacial acetic acid and heated to 100° C. To this solution is added 5-chlorotryptamine HCl (59.4 g, 257 mmol) in small portions. The reaction is stirred for 48 hours under nitrogen then cooled to ambient temperature. The solids are filtered, washed with glacial acetic acid (2×200 mL), and dried in a stream of nitrogen for 48 hours to produce the Pictet-Spengler intermediate C (73.3 g, 76%).

Upon cooling to ambient temperature, the solid is filtered, washed with ethanol (100 mL), and dried in a stream of nitrogen to give the chiral salt E (28.8 g, 32.7%). Chiral High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) indicates the presence of the desired (S) enantiomer at 16.2 minutes, and the absence of the undesired (R) at 19.4 minutes; LC/MS indicates a peak of compound at 2.02 minutes with a parent ion of M−H=337 (100).

The resulting yellow suspension is stirred for 3-5 minutes, followed by the addition of 12.02 g (56.7 mmol, 1.55 eq) of solid 95% pure Aldrich grade NaBH(OAc)₃ in one portion. The mixture, which turns black after about an hour, is stirred at room temperature overnight. The black mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure at room temperature. The residue is taken into EtOAc and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃, saturated aqueous NH₄Cl and brine (saturated aqueous NaCl). The organics are dried over MgSO₄, concentrated to about 30 mL, and filtered through a short silica plug, which is eluted with 30% of EtOAc in hexanes. The combined filtrate is concentrated to a thick oil, treated with a minimal amount of dichloromethane (about 15 mL), and stirred at room temperature overnight.

The EC₅₀ data was obtained using the protocol set forth below in Section 8.1.1.

LC/MS for certain Compounds was performed on either a Waters 2795 or 2690 model separations module coupled with a Waters Micromass ZQ mass spectrometer using a Waters Xterra MS C₁₈ 4.6×50 mm reverse phase column (detection at 254 nM). The methods employed a gradient of acetonitrile (ACN) in water at 2 mL/min at ambient temperature as shown in Table 2a. The mobile phase was buffered with a 0.1 N formic acid.

The standard 6 minute method maintains a constant 85/5/10 ratio of water/ACN/1% aqueous formic acid from 0 minutes to 0.5 minutes. The method runs a linear gradient from 85/5/10 at 0.5 minutes to 0/90/10 at 3.5 minutes. The methods holds at 0/90/10 until 4.5 minutes then immediately drops back down to 85/5/10 and holds there until 6 minutes.

The non-polar 6 minute method maintains a constant 60/30/10 ratio of water/ACN/1% aqueous formic acid from 0 minutes to 0.5 minutes. The method runs a linear gradient from 60/30/10 at 0.5 minutes to 0/90/10 at 3.5 minutes. The methods holds at 0/90/10 until 4.5 minutes then immediately drops back down to 60/30/10 and holds there until 6 minutes.

The polar 6 minute method maintains a constant 90/0/10 ratio of water/ACN/1% aqueous formic acid from 0 minutes to 0.5 minutes. The method runs a linear gradient from 90/0/10 at 0.5 minutes to 20/70/10 at 3.5 minutes. The methods holds at 20/70/10 until 4.5 minutes then immediately drops back down to 90/0/10 and holds there until 6 minutes.

LC/MS for Compounds 1611 and 1669 was performed using a C18-BDS 5 (250×4.6 mm) column with a 0.7 mL/min flow rate. The following solvent gradient was employed using 0.1% TFA/water as solvent A and acetonitrile as solvent B: 20% B for 0-20 minutes, 70% B for 20-30 minutes, 100% B for 30-40 minutes, 20% B for 40-50 minutes.

7. EXAMPLE: FORMULATION OF COMPOUND 1205

Compound 1205 is bioavailable in vivo when administered in an aqueous suspension. It is anticipated that Compound 1205 can be clinically administered via a solid-dosage form. For all the studies outlined herein, Compound 1205 was lyophilized prior to formulation to minimize batch-to-batch variations in particle-size.

The compound was dissolved in acetonitrile at a concentration of 15 mg/mL. An equal amount of water was added to bring the final concentration to 7.5 mg/mL in a 1:1 acetonitrile/water solution (v/v). The solution was frozen on the shelf of the freeze dryer for a minimum of 3 hours and then lyophilized. The resulting solid was determined to be amorphous by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized light microscopy. Suspensions were prepared by the addition of 0.5% HPMC with 1% Tween-80, followed by stirring and homogenization for 2 minutes.

8. EXAMPLE: PHARMACODYNAMICS OF COMPOUND 1205

The examples that follow demonstrate that the Compounds tested can inhibit the production of tumor-generated human VEGF and delay tumor growth. Compounds tested have been shown to inhibit the pathological production of human VEGF by human tumor cells and/or human tumors in an animal model with pre-established human tumors.

8.1 Inhibition of Pathological Production of VEGF

8.1.1 Effect of Compounds on Hypoxia-Inducible Endogenous VEGF Expression

The ability of the Compounds to modulate hypoxia-inducible endogenous VEGF expression may be analyzed as follows. VEGF protein levels may be monitored by an ELISA assay (R&D Systems). Briefly, HeLa cells may be cultured for 24-48 hours under hypoxic conditions (1% O₂, 5% CO₂, balanced with nitrogen) in the presence or absence of a Compound. The conditioned media may then be assayed by ELISA, and the concentration of VEGF calculated from the standard ELISA curve of each assay.

A dose-response analysis may be performed using the ELISA assay and conditions described above. The conditions for the dose-response ELISA are analogous to those described above. A series of, e.g., seven different concentrations may be analyzed. In parallel, a dose-response cytotoxicity assay may be performed using Cell Titer Glo (Promega) under the same conditions as the ELISA to ensure that the inhibition of VEGF expression was not due to the cytotoxicity. Dose-response curves may be plotted using percentage inhibition versus concentration of the Compound, and EC₅₀ and CC₅₀ values may be generated for each Compound with the maximal inhibition set as 100% and the minimal inhibition as 0%. In one embodiment, Compounds will have an EC₅₀ of less than 50, less than 10, less than 2, less than 0.5, or less than 0.01.

8.1.2 Compound 1205 Inhibit Pathological VEGF Production in Transformed Cells Grown under hypoxic Conditions

This example demonstrates the selective inhibition of Compound 1205 on pathological human VEGF production in transformed HeLa cells grown under stressed conditions while sparing human VEGF production in HeLa cells grown under non-stressed conditions.

Experimental Design.

HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) cell cultures were established under normoxic conditions (21% oxygen). HeLa cells increase VEGF production 4- to 5-fold in response to hypoxia. In one experimental design, vehicle (0.5% DMSO) alone, or a range of concentrations of Compound #10, Compound 1205, or Compound 1330 was added to the culture medium and the cells were incubated for 48 hours. At the completion of treatment, the conditioned media were collected and the VEGF protein levels were assayed in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with primary antibodies that recognize the soluble VEGF₁₂₁ and VEGF₁₆₅ isoforms (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn., USA). To ensure that decreases in VEGF concentration were not due to cytotoxicity, cultures were assayed using a standard assay (CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay; Promega, Madison, Wis., USA) that measures total cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentrations as an indicator of cell viability.

Results.

FIG. 1 shows the concentrations of VEGF in conditioned media across the dose range tested for Compound #10, Compound 1205 and Compound 1330. The data indicate that Compound #10 and Compound 1205 inhibit stress-induced VEGF production.

8.1.3 Compound 1205 Reduces Tumor and Pathological Plasma VEGF Concentrations In Vivo

This example demonstrates that Compound 1205 reduces intratumoral and pathological plasma human VEGF concentrations in vivo.

Experimental Design.

Human HT1080 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mice) were implanted subcutaneously into male athymic nude mice. Human HT1080 cells constitutively produce human VEGF. Treatment with vehicle alone or Compound 1205 was initiated when the median tumor volume was approximately 311±88 mm³. Table 3 and Table 4 provide the study design for assessing tumor and pathological plasma VEGF concentrations—each group in each study included eight (8) mice. When the tumors in vehicle-treated mice had reached the target size of about 1200 mm³ for study #21 and about 1500 mm³ for study #23, all mice in the study were sacrificed, and excised tumors were homogenized in buffer containing protease inhibitors. Both intra-tumor and plasma human VEGF levels were measured using an ELISA that recognizes human VEGF₁₂₁ and VEGF₁₆₅. Intra-tumor VEGF levels were normalized to the total tumor protein concentration and plasma VEGF levels were expressed in pg/mL. Because smaller tumors produce less VEGF per mg of tumor protein, intra-tumor VEGF levels were normalized to tumor size. Table 4 provides the study design for assessing tumor and plasma VEGF.

Results.

Treatment with Compound 1205 at 0.5 or 3 mg/kg for 14-days significantly reduced the levels of human VEGF measured in excised tumors (FIG. 2) and in plasma (FIG. 3) compared to levels measured in tumors and plasma from mice treated with vehicle. At the dose of 0.5 or 3 mg/kg QD, Compound 1205 inhibits both tumor and plasma VEGF levels by more than 95%. Even with the reduction in tumor size in the treated groups, the volume normalized intra-tumor VEGF levels were significantly reduced (FIG. 2; Table 3).

8.2 Compound 1205 Inhibits Tumor Growth In Vivo

This example demonstrates that Compound 1205 inhibits tumor growth in nude mice bearing HT1080 xenografts.

Experimental Design.

HT1080 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) were implanted subcutaneously in male athymic nude mice. When tumors had become established (i.e., the mean tumor size had reached 311±88 mm³), mice were divided into 5 groups and treatment was administered as shown in Tables 4 and 5. Compound 1330 is a relatively inactive (R,S) diastereomer of Compound 1205, which has (S,S) configuration. For comparison, Compound #10 was included in this study.

Results.

The results of the studies are described in Table 5 and FIG. 4. The data shown in FIG. 4 is for study #24a. The data indicate that Compound 1205 (S,S) inhibits tumor growth in an animal model with a pre-established human tumor. As shown in FIG. 4, treatment with Compound 1205 (S,S), but not with the (R,S) diastereomer Compound 1330, significantly delayed growth of HT1080 tumor cells in vivo. The growth of the tumors in mice treated with Compound 1330 overlapped with the growth of tumors in mice treated with 0.5% HPMC vehicle. See FIG. 4. This suggests that the relatively inactive (R, S) diastereomer (Compound 1330) does not appreciably isomerize to active Compound 1205 in vivo. Compound 1205 is active at doses as low as 0.3 mg/kg.

8.3 Compound 1205 Provokes a Late G₁/Early S-Phase Cell Cycle Delay

This example demonstrates that Compound 1205 provokes a cell cycle delay at the G₁/S-phase border.

Experimental Design. During the in vitro evaluation of Compound 1205 effects on VEGF expression, an examination of its actions on tumor cell cycling was performed. HT1080 cells were incubated under normoxic conditions (21% oxygen) for 18 hours with vehicle (0.5% DMSO) alone, or with 10 nM of Compound 1205. After treatment, cells were trypsinized, and stained with propidium iodide (PI) dye to measure DNA content of individual cells by flow cytometry. Output comprised histograms showing relative DNA content in 10,000 cells.

Results.

As shown in FIG. 5, Compound 1205 induced a redistribution of the cycling characteristics of the cell population.

9. EXAMPLE: SELECTIVITY OF COMPOUND 1205 FOR HUMAN VEGF

This example demonstrates that Compound 1205 is selective for human VEGF.

Experimental Design.

After mouse tumors reached 1500 mm³, mice were sacrificed and tissues were collected at the time of necropsy, homogenized, and analyzed. On average, mice treated with Compound 1205 at 0.5 mg/kg were on study for 28 days, and mice treated with Compound 1205 at 3 mg/kg were on study for 32 days.

Results.

As shown in FIG. 6, Compound 1205 did not significantly decrease murine kidney VEGF levels, indicating that Compound 1205 is likely to act in a species-selective manner.

10. EXAMPLE: INHIBITION OF VIRAL REPLICATION Viral Replication Assays

A person of ordinary skill in the art may test a Compound for antiviral activity using a variety of different approaches, with a representative number of selected examples as detailed below.

HCV Replicon Assay

The lack of validated and readily accessible cell-culture whole virus infection systems and small animal models permissive for HCV replication has limited the development of new anti-HCV agents. Self-replicating genomic and subgenomic HCV systems, termed HCV replicons, have been described and have been widely used to assess the efficacy of anti-HCV inhibitors (see Blight K J, et al., 2000, Efficient initiation of HCV RNA replication in cell culture. Science 290:1972-1974; Blight K J, et al., 2002, Highly permissive cell lines for subgenomic and genomic hepatitis C virus RNA replication. J Virol 76:13001-13014; Ikeda M, et al., 2002. Selectable subgenomic and genome-length dicistronic RNAs derived from an infectious molecular clone of the HCV-N strain of hepatitis C virus replicate efficiently in cultured Huh? cells. J Virol 76:2997-3006; Lohmann V, et al., 1999, Replication of subgenomic hepatitis C virus RNAs in a hepatoma cell line. Science 285:110-113; Pietschmann T, et al., 2002, Persistent and transient replication of full-length hepatitis C virus genomes in cell culture. J Virol 76:4008-4021; and, Pietschmann T, et al., 2001, Characterization of cell lines carrying self-replicating hepatitis C virus RNAs. J Virol 75:1252-1264).

U.S. Pat. No. 6,630,343 describes a bicistronic HCV 1b replicon and 2a replicon for use in testing a Compound by quantitating replicon RNA (GenBank Accession No. AJ242654) reduction and/or the Fluc reporter signal. The amount of HCV replicon RNA is determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). In some cases, a Compound is tested against the HCV replicon in a spheroid culture. Replicon-containing cells may be cultured with a Compound for up to 3 days. Interferon (IFN) a is used as a positive control.

Standard cell culture assays employing hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicons showed that the Compound had an average IC₅₀ of 0.036 μM against the genotype 1b replicon and an IC₅₀ of <0.003 μM against the genotype 2a replicon. Performing a replicon assay under three-dimensional culture conditions (spheroid culture) resulted in an IC₅₀ of 0.001 μM against the genotype 1b replicon and >310 fold selectivity index. Notably, the R-enantiomer of the Compound failed to exhibit significant antiviral activity in parallel experiments.

Attempts to generate resistant HCV replicons using standard virological techniques were unsuccessful despite exposure of replicon cells to the Compound under various conditions for up to four months. Classical antivirals acting directly on viral targets typically generate robustly resistant variants within 3-4 weeks using this technique.

Poliovirus (PV) Assay

Antiviral activity is tested against PV strain Mahoney (obtained from Dr. Eckard Wimmer, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, N.Y.) in HeLa S3 cells by determining the viral RNA reduction using qRT-PCR. HeLa S3 cells are seeded onto 96 well plates at a density of 5000 cells per well and incubated in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37° C. under 5% CO₂ for 24 hours and then treated with a Compound at a series of test concentrations for 18 hours. The cells are then infected with PV at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 in DMEM without FBS for 30 minutes, followed by treatment with a Compound at a series of concentrations in DMEM with 1% FBS for 20 hours. After removing supernatant and washing the cells with PBS, RNA is prepared by adding 50 μL of Cells-to-cDNA Cell Lysis Buffer (Ambion, Catalog #8723) to each well and then heating at 75° C. for 10 minutes. The cell lysate is then treated with DNase I (DNA-free™ Ambion, Catalog #1906) at 37° C. for 20 minutes and then heated at 75° C. for 5 minutes to inactivate DNase. cDNA is prepared using iScript RT kit (Bio-Rad, Catalog #170-8897). The viral cDNA is determined by qRT-PCR using a pair of primers and a probe complementary to the viral internal ribosome entry site. The IC₅₀ shown in Table 7 is calculated based on percentage of viral RNA reduction under treatment of a Compound using Prism nonlinear fit sigmoidal dose-response variable slope (GraphPad Prism Software).

Additionally, in a 24-hour assay of infected HeLa cells when the Compound was added about 16 hours pre-infection, PV was inhibited with an average IC₅₀ of 0.0006 μM. Adding the Compound at the time of infection, though, resulted in a 65-fold decrease in activity. In HT-1080 cells, the Compound inhibited PV with an average IC₅₀ of 0.0004 μM. A variant HT-1080 cell line which displayed resistance to the cell cycle effects of the Compound was generated through serial passage; in these cells the Compound inhibited PV with an average IC₅₀ of 4.7 μM, a 10,000-fold difference in activity from that observed in non-resistant cells.

Other Viral Assays

Antiviral activity of a Compound against WNV is tested in Vero cells by protection of virus induced cytopathic effects (i.e. cytoprotection measured as cell viability, IC₅₀). The effect of a Compound on inhibition of virus induced cytopathic effects is determined using MTS (CellTiter) assay.

Antiviral activity against vaccinia virus is determined in Vero E6 cells by a plaque reduction assay. For a plaque reduction assay, inhibition of viral replication is determined as a reduction in virus-induced plaque formation assessed by microscopic inspection following staining of the culture with crystal violet.

Antiviral activity against HIV-1 is determined in a human cell line. The Compound prevented cytopathic effect 3 days post-infection with an EC₅₀ of 0.022 μM when normalized to cell number after treatment in the absence of infection. The activity against HIV may also be tested in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in cell culture.

Results.

As shown in Table 7, the Compound has inhibitory activity against a diverse panel of DNA viruses, RNA viruses and retroviruses in vitro. At the doses tested in the human or monkey cell lines tested, the Compound did not inhibit the two DNA viruses adenovirus and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). At the doses tested in the human or monkey cell lines tested, the Compound was inactive against the two RNA viruses dengue and yellow fever. However, the Compound displayed potent activity against the three RNA viruses parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and West Nile virus (WNV) in the cell lines tested. The Compound did not exhibit any selective inhibition of influenza virus when grown in the canine kidney cell line tested. The broad-spectrum activity of the Compound was demonstrated by its inhibition of both plus-strand (PV, HCV, WNV) and minus-strand (RSV, parainfluenza) RNA viruses. No antiviral activity was detected for the R-enantiomer of the Compound.

11. EXAMPLE: EFFECT OF COMPOUND #10 IN A 786-0 RENAL CANCER CELL LINE (VHL-NEGATIVE)

The in vivo activity of Compound #10 was assessed as a monotherapy and in combination with sunitinib (e.g., branded/marketed as SUTENT®) or rapamycin (e.g., branded/marketed as RAPAMUNE®) in a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) model (786-0 cells) in vivo. Both sunitinib and rapamycin are used clinically for treatment of renal cancer.

The 786-O cell line does not express the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein (VHL-negative cell), therefore preventing its interaction with HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1α), which accumulates and stimulates expression of growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), that are responsible for the high vascularization of RCC (see Turcotte S, Desrosiers RR, Béliveau R. Hypoxia upregulates von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor protein through RhoA-dependent activity in renal cell carcinoma. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. First published 2003 Oct. 23; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00254.2003; and, Zimmer M, Doucette D, Siddiqui N, Iliopoulos O. Inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor is sufficient for growth suppression of VHL−/− tumors. Mol Cancer Res. 2004 2:89-95). Individuals with mutations in the VHL gene resulting in von Hippel-Lindau disease are at increased risk for developing clear cell carcinoma of the kidney, which is the most common histologic type of renal cancer. Biallelic VHL mutations (frequently involving point mutation of one allele and loss of the other) are common in sporadic renal cell carcinomas of the clear cell type (Kim W Y and Kaelin WG. The role of VHL gene mutation in human cancer. J Clin Oncol. In press 2004). Moreover, VHL inactivation due to DNA hypermethylation has been documented in some renal cell carcinomas that lack VHL mutation (Herman J G, Latif F, Weng Y, et al Silencing of the VHL tumor-suppressor gene by DNA methylation in renal carcinoma. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1994; 91:9700-4).

Sunitinib inhibits the kinase activities of VEGF receptors, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors, Flt3, and c-kit (CD117; see Mendel D B, Laird A D, Xin X, et al. In vivo antitumor activity of SU11248, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptors: determination of a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship. Clin Cancer Res. 2003; 9:327-37). SUTENT® is approved for treatment of RCC, having demonstrating clinical efficacy (Package insert for SUTENT®; http://www.pfizer.com/files/products/uspi_sutent.pdf). Previous studies have demonstrated that Compound #10 demonstrates favorable activities compared with sunitinib and an additive effect with sunitinib in a mouse lung cancer xenograft model. In the previous study, the dose utilized was 50 mg/kg. Here, a dose of 75 mg/kg was used.

The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitors rapamycin and analogs are active in RCC in preclinical models and in the clinic (see Dasanu C A, Clark B A, Alexandrescu DT. mTOR-Blocking Agents in Advanced Renal Cancer: An Emerging Therapeutic Option. Expert opinion on investigational drugs 2009; 18(2):175-87; Package insert for rapamycin: http://www.huntingtonproject.org/Portals/0/rapamycin.pdf). The antitumor activity of agents that block the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR pathway may at least in part be attributable to the suppression of tumor angiogenesis as a result of suppression of VEGF production at the translational level. Although mTOR inhibitors block cap-dependent translation, the VEGF mRNA can be translated by a cap-independent mechanism, possibly involving the use of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Stressful conditions (e.g., rapamycin-treatment) may favor the use of this alternative pathway. An additive or synergistic combination between the two approaches (Compound #10 and an mTOR inhibitor) may produce an optimal blockade of VEGF via different pathways.

786-O cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) (Manassas, Va.) and cultured using methods provided by the ATCC.

Compound #10 was formulated in 30% Solutol HS15®, 35% Labrasol®, and 35% Labrafac® (L21) and stored at room temperature in ambient humidity and protected from light. Rapamycin was formulated in 0.4% ethanol (100%) stock, which was stored at −70° C. in aliquots and aliquot thawed daily for dilution. The stock of rapamycin was then diluted in 5% Tween-80, 5% PEG-400, 90% water. Sunitinib was formulated in 0.5% HPMC and 1% Tween-80.

The concentration of the dosing solution was adjusted as necessary so that a volume of 0.1 mL delivered the target dose. The dosing solutions were prepared five times.

Mice were inoculated with 786-0 tumor cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) obtained from the ATCC (CRL-1932; Manassas, Va.). Tumor cells were mixed 1:1 with BD MATRIGEL™ (Becton, Dickinson and Company, San Jose, Calif.) prior to inoculation. Mice were inoculated using a 25-gauge needle in the right flank in a volume of 0.2 mL. A total of 100 mice were injected, of which 60 were used in the study.

Fourteen days after inoculation, the mice were randomized into six groups as outlined in Table 9. Animals were distributed into groups such that the average tumor size did not differ between groups. Groups were taken off study when the mean tumor volume in a group was 1300 mm³ or more. Vehicle-treatment started on Day 0 and continued through Day 57. Compound #10-treatment started on Day 0 and continued through Day 88.

Body Weight: The mice were weighed once per week.

Tumor Size: Tumors were measured twice per week using digital calipers. To calculate tumor volume, the following calculation was used, where L equals the longest dimension measurement and W equals the shortest dimension measurement:

${{Tumor}\mspace{14mu} {Volume}} = \frac{L \times (W)^{2}}{2}$

Clinical Observations: Each animal was observed twice daily for mortality and signs of pain or distress. Findings of overt toxicity were recorded as they were observed.

Plasma VEGF: Plasma was run in the Human VEGF ELISA, R&D Systems Cat#DY293B. Plasma was diluted at 1:1 with reagent diluent prior to quantification via ELISA.

Tumor Growth was calculated as:

[1−[(final tumor size minus initial tumor size in test compound treated−mice)/(final tumor size minus initial tumor size in vehicle-treated mice)]×100%

Values were calculated for individual mice and then averaged across the group.

Body Weight: The mice were weighed once per week. The percent change was calculated as:

[(Body weight on Day of study)−(initial body weight)/(initial body weight)]×100%

Values were calculated for individual mice and then averaged across the group.

The time to progression to reach a tumor volume 1000 mm³ was calculated for each mouse. The median values were reported. For statistical analysis, if the tumor in a given mouse did not reach 1000 mm³, the time on study was utilized (eg, 119 days for mice in the sunitinib-treated group). Differences in tumor size, tumor growth, and body weight change between groups were analyzed by Two-way ANOVA (Bonferroni).

Results: Vehicle and Compound #10 Monotherapy:

All mice treated with vehicle or with Compound #10 survived until sacrificed (at the time that the mean tumor size of the group reached about 1500 mm³). Mouse 2-10 treated with Compound #10 (10 mg/kg) was cured, as defined by reduction of tumor size (<60 mm³), such that the tumor was not measurable or appeared to be absent.

Results: Sunitinib Monotherapy:

All mice treated with sunitinib survived until sacrificed (at the time that the mean tumor size of the group reached about 1500 mm³). From Day 7 onward, all mice in Group 3 (sunitinib, 75 mg/kg) had yellow-tinged skin.

Results: Combination of Compound #10 and Sunitinib:

From Day 7 onward, all mice in Group 4 (Compound #10 and sunitinib) had yellow-tinged skin. Mouse 4-3 and mouse 4-5 in Group 4 (Compound #10 and sunitinib) were sacrificed on Day 87.

Results: Rapamycin Monotherapy and Combination of Compound #10 and Rapamycin:

All mice treated with rapamycin survived until sacrificed (at the time that the mean tumor size of the group reached about 1500 mm³).

Results: Tumor Measurements:

A total of 60/100 mice that were inoculated with 786-O cells developed tumors that were within the appropriate range at the start of this study. The tumor volume (mean±SD) for mice used in this study was 297±53 mm³ at the initiation of treatment.

FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 show the effect of Compound #10 alone and in combination with sunitinib and rapamycin, respectively, on mean tumor size over the study time period. Tumors in vehicle-treated mice grew from a size (mean±SD) 297±57 mm³ to 1442±322 mm³ on Day 57. The median time to reach 1000 mm³ or more was 50 days.

Tumors in Compound #10-treated mice (10 mg/kg QD, PO) grew from a size (mean±SD) of 296±62 mm³ to 1569±671 mm³ on Day 88. Tumors in Compound #10-treated mice were smaller than vehicle-treated mice. On Day 57, tumors in Compound #10-treated mice were 945±408 mm³, or 34% smaller than the mean tumor size in vehicle-treated mice (p<0.05 ANOVA, multiple comparisons vs vehicle). The median time for tumors in Compound #10-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 71 days.

Tumors in sunitinib-treated mice (75 mg/kg QD, PO) grew from a size (mean±SD) of 297±24 mm³ on Day 0 to 709±938 mm³ on Day 119. By Day 119, 1 of the 10 mice in the treatment group had died. On Day 57, tumors in sunitinib-treated mice were 83% smaller than those in vehicle-treated mice. The median time for tumors in sunitinib-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 119 days (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs vehicle control).

Tumors in rapamycin-treated mice grew from a size (mean±SD) of 296±64 mm³ on Day 0 to 1715±393 mm³ on Day 93. By Day 93, 1 of the 10 mice in the treatment group had died. On Day 57, tumors in rapamycin-treated mice were 49% smaller than those in vehicle-treated mice. The median time for tumors in rapamycin-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 87 days (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs vehicle control).

The combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib was not more effective than sunitinib only, and unexpectedly, the combination of sunitinib and Compound #10 was less effective than sunitinib only. Tumor volume was significantly smaller in mice treated with sunitinib-only than that in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib on Days 22 to 84. By Day 119, 2 of the 10 mice in the treatment group were sacrificed due to sickness on Day 87. The median time for tumors in mice treated with the combination of sunitinib and Compound #10-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 119 days.

The combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin was more effective than rapamycin only. Differences in tumor volume were significantly different on Day 57 to 88. The median time for tumors in mice treated with the combination of rapamycin and Compound #10 mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 119 days.

Effect of Treatment on Body Weight:

Mice were not randomized by body weight but by initial tumor size. Nevertheless, the mean initial body weights did not statistically differ between treatment groups. The effect of treatment was determined by normalizing the body weight over time to initial body weight (i.e., by determining the percent change from the initial body weight).

FIG. 10 and FIG. 12 show the effect of Compound #10 alone and in combination with sunitinib and rapamycin, respectively, on mean tumor size over the study time period.

Vehicle-treated mice did not lose weight from their initial body weight at any point over the course of the study.

Compound #10-treated mice did not lose weight from their initial body weight at any point over the course of the study. Body weights did not statistically differ between vehicle-treated and Compound #10-treated mice.

Sunitinib-treated mice transiently lost weight as measured at Day 14 (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs vehicle control, and Compound #10). Mice then gained weight, with the weight gain from Day 0 reaching significance by Day 46 (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs vehicle control, and Compound #10), and remaining significant through Day 119.

Rapamycin-treated mice transiently lost weight as measured at Day 7 and Day 14 (2.4% loss and 2.8% loss on Day 7 and 14, respectively; p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs vehicle control and vs Compound #10).

The mean body weight in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib was greater than that of mice treated with sunitinib-only on Day 14 and Day 57 (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons). Therefore, Compound #10 prevented the transient weight loss observed in sunitinib-treated mice.

The mean body weight in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin did not weigh more than those treated with rapamycin-only. Therefore, the addition of Compound #10 did not prevent rapamycin-induced weight loss.

Discussion of Results

Treatment of mice with Compound #10 delayed the growth of 786-0 renal cells in vivo. The median time to reach 1000 mm³ was 50 days in vehicle-treated mice vs 71 days in Compound #10-treated mice. The median time to reach 1000 mm³ in sunitinib-treated mice was 119 days. Compound #10 was not as effective as sunitinib at the dose of sunitinib used in this study (75 mg/kg). Sunitinib publications describe a typical dose of about 40 mg/kg (see, Bagi C M, Christensen J, Cohen D P, Roberts W G, Wilkie D, Swanson T, Tuthill T, Andresen C J. Sunitinib and PF-562,271 (FAK/Pyk2 inhibitor) effectively block growth and recovery of human hepatocellular carcinoma in a rat xenograft model.

In vivo antitumor and antimetastatic activity of sunitinib in preclinical neuroblastoma mouse model. Neoplasia. 2009 May; 11(5):426-35). At the dose used in this study, the skin of the mice were yellow-tinged.

Rapamycin delayed the growth of 786-0 renal tumor cells in vivo. Dosing of rapamycin was limited by weight loss. In addition, the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin did not prevent weight loss.

The tumor did not induce weight loss, and there were no differences in the body weight gain in the vehicle-treated mice as in the monotherapy Compound #10-treated mice. While sunitinib-treated mice transiently lost weight then regained the weight mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib did not lose weight, indicating that Compound #10 prevented sunitinib-induced transient weight loss. Mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin lost weight, indicating that Compound #10 did not prevent rapamycin-induced weight loss in this cell line.

The combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib was not as effective as sunitinib alone, perhaps as a result of either a pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction.

12. EXAMPLE: EFFECT OF COMPOUND #10 IN A CAM-1 RENAL CANCER ANIMAL MODEL (VHL-POSITIVE)

The in vivo activity of Compound #10 was assessed as a monotherapy and in combination with sunitinib (e.g., branded/marketed as SUTENT®) or rapamycin (e.g., branded/marketed as RAPAMUNE®) in a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) model (Caki-1 cells) in vivo. The Caki-1 cell line expresses the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein which acts as a tumor suppressor by promoting the rapid degradation of HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1α) under normoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1α is stabilized and activated by the inability of VHL to act resulting in increased transcription of VEGF that is responsible for the high vascularization of RCC (see Turcotte et al, 2003, Zimmer et al, 2004).

Caki-1 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) (Manassas, Va.) and cultured using methods provided by the ATCC.

Compound #10 was formulated in 30% Solutol HS15®, 35% Labrasol®, and 35% Labrafac® (L21) and stored at room temperature in ambient humidity and protected from light.

Rapamycin was formulated in 0.4% ethanol (100%) stock, which was stored at −70° C. in aliquots and aliquot thawed daily for dilution. The stock of rapamycin was then diluted in 5% Tween-80, 5% PEG-400, 90% water.

Sunitinib was formulated in 0.5% HPMC and 1% Tween-80.

Differences in tumor size, tumor growth, and body weight change between groups were analyzed by Student's t-test).

Results: Vehicle and Compound #10 Treatment:

All mice treated with vehicle or with Compound #10 survived until sacrificed (at the time that the mean tumor size of the group reached about 1500 mm³).

From Day 8 onward, all mice in Group 3 (sunitinib, 75 mg/kg) and Group 4 (Compound #10 and sunitinib) had yellow-tinged skin. Mouse 3-4 (sunitinib, 75 mg/kg) was sacrificed on Day 4. Mouse 3-7 (sunitinib, 75 mg/kg) was found dead on Day 17. Mouse 3-3 (sunitinib, 75 mg/kg) was found dead on Day 95.

Results: Rapamycin Monotherapy:

One mouse (5-10) was found dead on Day 14. Two mice (5-1 and 5-2) were found dead on Day 62. Three mice (5-3, 5-4, and 5-5) were found dead on Day 63.

Tumor Measurements:

A total of 60/100 mice that were inoculated with Caki-1 cells developed tumors that were within the appropriate range at the start of this study. The mean±SD tumor volume for mice used in this study was 286±27 mm³ at the initiation of treatment.

FIG. 13 and FIG. 15 show the effect of Compound #10 alone and in combination with sunitinib and rapamycin, respectively, on mean tumor size over the study time period. Tumors in vehicle-treated mice grew from a size (mean±SD) of 285±33 mm³ to 1544±606 mm³ on Day 35. The median time to reach 1000 mm³ was 25 days.

Tumors in Compound #10-treated mice (10 mg/kg QD, PO) grew from a size (mean±SD) of 285±26 mm³ to 1538±1070 mm³ on Day 52. Tumors in Compound #10-treated mice were smaller than vehicle-treated mice. On Day 35, tumors in Compound #10-treated mice were 866±450 mm³, or 44% smaller than the mean tumor size in vehicle-treated mice (p<0.05 ANOVA, multiple comparisons vs vehicle). The median time for tumors in Compound #10-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 39 days.

Tumors in sunitinib-treated mice (75 mg/kg QD, PO) grew from a size (mean±SD) of 285±25 mm³ on Day 0 to 1494±1150 mm³ on Day 98. On Day 35, tumors in sunitinib-treated mice were 66% smaller than those in vehicle-treated mice. The median time for tumors in sunitinib-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 66 days (p<0.05, ANOVA—multiple comparisons vs. vehicle control).

Tumors in rapamycin-treated mice grew from a size (mean±SD) of 286±24 mm³ on Day 0 to 1689±1081 mm³ on Day 63. By Day 65, 6 of the 10 mice in the treatment group had died, and the mice were taken off study. On Day 35, tumors in rapamycin-treated mice were 60% smaller than those in vehicle-treated mice. The median time for tumors in rapamycin-treated mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 43 days.

The combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib was not more effective than sunitinib only, and unexpectedly, the combination of sunitinib and Compound #10 was less effective than sunitinib only. Tumor volume was significantly smaller in mice treated with sunitinib-only than that in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib on Days 49 to 63, at which point the mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib were sacrificed. The median time for tumors in mice treated with the combination of sunitinib and Compound #10 mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 43 days.

The combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin was not more effective than rapamycin only. Differences in tumor volume were not significantly different at any time point. The median time for tumors in mice treated with the combination of rapamycin and Compound #10 mice to reach 1000 mm³ was 40 days.

Effect of Treatment on Body Weight:

Mice were not randomized by body weight but by initial tumor size. Nevertheless, the mean initial body weights did not statistically differ between the two groups. The effect of treatment was determined by normalizing the body weight over time to initial body weight (i.e., by determining the percent change from the initial body weight).

FIG. 14 and FIG. 16 show the effect of Compound #10 alone and in combination with sunitinib and rapamycin, respectively, on mean tumor size over the study time period.

Vehicle-treated mice did not lose weight from their initial body weight at any point over the course of the study.

Compound #10-treated mice transiently lost weight as measured at Day 8 and Day 14 (2.2% loss from Day 0; p<0.05, Paired Student's test comparing Day 0 with Day 8 or Day 0 with Day 14). Mice then gained weight, with the weight gain from Day 0 reaching significance by Day 38 (Paired Student's test comparing Day 0 with Day 38), and remaining significant until these mice were sacrificed.

Sunitinib-treated mice transiently lost weight as measured at Day 14, although this difference did not reach statistical significance. Mice then gained weight, with the weight gain from Day 0 reaching significance by Day 38 (Paired Student's test comparing Day 0 with Day 38), and remaining significant through Day 63.

Rapamycin-treated mice transiently lost weight as measured at Day 8 and Day 14 (4.3% loss and 5.8% loss on Day 8 and 14, respectively; Paired Student's test comparing Day 0 with Day 8 or Day 0 with Day 14).

The body weights in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and Sunitinib did not differ from those in mice treated with sunitinib-only (Student's t-test).

The body weight in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin weighed more on Days 8 and 14 than did those treated with rapamycin-only. Therefore, the addition of Compound #10 prevented rapamycin-induced weight loss.

Discussion of Results

Treatment of mice with Compound #10 delayed the growth of Caki-1 renal cells in vivo. The median time to reach 1500 mm³ was 25 days in vehicle-treated mice vs 39 days in Compound #10-treated mice. The median time to reach 1000 mm³ in sunitinib-treated mice was 66 days. Compound #10 was not as effective as sunitinib as the dose of sunitinib used in this model (75 mg/kg).

Rapamycin delayed the growth of Caki-1 renal tumor cells in vivo. Dosing of rapamycin was limited by weight loss. However, the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin prevented weight loss.

The tumor did not induce weight loss, and there were no differences in the body weight gain in the vehicle-treated mice as in the monotherapy Compound #10-treated mice. While monotherapy rapamycin-treatment elicited weight loss, mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin did not lose weight, indicating that Compound #10 prevented rapamycin-induced weight loss in this cell line. Tumors in mice treated with rapamycin and with the combination of Compound #10 and rapamycin were of similar size, indicating that the effect on weight loss was independent of the effect on body weight.

The combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib was not as effective as sunitinib alone, perhaps as a result of either a pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction. The levels of sunitinib were lower in mice treated with the combination of Compound #10 and sunitinib when compared to mice treated with sunitinib alone. However, as the plasma was collected on different days (Day 63 vs. Day 98) and at different times (23 h post-dose vs. 30 h post-dose), the levels could not be directly compared to assess the potential for a drug-drug interaction.

13. EXAMPLE: EFFECT OF COMPOUND #10 AS MONOTHERAPY AND IN COMBINATION WITH A PI3-K INHIBITOR

FIG. 7A shows the effect of Compound #10 (“P”) as monotherapy (at μM dose levels) and in combination with a PI3-K inhibitor (“B”) on protein expression in a series of Western blot analyses of lysates of various cell lines treated with various concentrations a PI3-K inhibitor (“B”) and various concentrations of Compound #10 (“P”) in a 786-0 Renal Cancer Cell (RCC) line using techniques known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The Vinculin, c-Myc, Survivin, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), Cyclin D and pS6 mRNA are cap-dependent mRNAs that are considered difficult to translate. The blots for each mRNA shown were translated via a cap-independent manner with mTOR inhibition (Akt has been inactivated).

FIG. 7A shows that the monotherapy treatment of c-Myc in the 786-0 cell line by the PI3-K inhibitor and Compound #10 at different dose levels was not completely effective in suppressing c-Myc expression. The combination at different dose levels, though, effectively suppressed c-Myc expression. Although the monotherapy treatment of the PI3-K inhibitor was relatively effective at suppressing ODC, survivin, cyclin D and pS6 expression, Compound #10 enhanced the ability of the PI3-K inhibitor “B” to suppress c-myc expression and VEGF production.

The ELISA data in FIG. 7B demonstrate the effect of Compound #10 as monotherapy and in combination with a PI3-K inhibitor on VEGF expression in a 786-0 Renal Cancer Cell (RCC) line using techniques familiar to a person of ordinary skill in the art. In general, the tumor cells were exposed to Compound #10, the PI3-K inhibitor and the combination for several hours. The media was then discarded and replaced with fresh agent-containing media. This was done to ensure that the ELISA did not measure VEGF produced before the agent was able to achieve an inhibitory intracellular concentration. This procedure enhances the apparent effectiveness of agents that suppress VEGF synthesis. Although the cells were not rinsed, the ELISA data in FIG. 7B show a significant dose-dependent additive effect of the PI3-K inhibitor and Compound #10 in combination to suppress VEGF production.

FIG. 8 shows the effect of various concentrations of Compound #10 as monotherapy (at different μM dose levels) on expression of various proteins in a series of Western blot analyses of lysates of a panel of RCC lines (786-0, 769-P and A498) using techniques known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. The results in FIG. 8 demonstrate that the effect on protein expression was dose-dependent and depended on the RCC line used.
